- Create a 3 way mirror.
- Make the mirrored disk bootable(use installboot)
- nvalias the disks (ie: root, rootmirror1, rootmirror2)
- metadetach the 3rd disk(rootmirror2).

You still have your mirrored boot disk and now you have a third disk with a point in time image of your boot disk that you can boot from via boot rootmirror2 from the OBP.

If you only have 2 disks, then you have a mired boot disk or a single boot disk with a second offline copy that you can boot from.
